git-url-parse

What is git-url-parse?

The git-url-parse npm package is a utility for parsing Git URLs and extracting useful information from them. It supports various Git URL formats and provides methods to manipulate and retrieve different parts of the URL.

What are git-url-parse's main functionalities?

Parsing a Git URL

This feature allows you to parse a Git URL and get an object containing various parts of the URL such as the protocol, source, owner, name, and more.

const gitUrlParse = require('git-url-parse');
const parsed = gitUrlParse('https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-url-parse.git');
console.log(parsed);

Extracting the owner and name

This feature allows you to extract specific parts of the Git URL, such as the owner and repository name.

const gitUrlParse = require('git-url-parse');
const parsed = gitUrlParse('https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-url-parse.git');
console.log(parsed.owner); // 'IonicaBizau'
console.log(parsed.name); // 'git-url-parse'

Converting to a different URL format

This feature allows you to convert a Git URL from one format to another, such as from HTTPS to SSH.

const gitUrlParse = require('git-url-parse');
const parsed = gitUrlParse('https://github.com/IonicaBizau/git-url-parse.git');
const sshUrl = parsed.toString('ssh');
console.log(sshUrl); // '[e-mail]:IonicaBizau/git-url-parse.git'

Other packages similar to git-url-parse

parse-github-url

The parse-github-url package is a utility for parsing GitHub URLs specifically. It extracts information such as the owner, repository name, and branch. Compared to git-url-parse, it is more focused on GitHub URLs and may not support other Git hosting services.

git-url

The git-url package provides similar functionality for parsing and manipulating Git URLs. It offers methods to extract parts of the URL and convert between different URL formats. It is comparable to git-url-parse in terms of functionality but may have different API design and usage patterns.

url-parse

The url-parse package is a more general-purpose URL parsing library that can handle various types of URLs, not just Git URLs. While it can be used to parse Git URLs, it does not provide Git-specific methods and properties like git-url-parse does.
